#1 - Have you come to the place in your spiritual life where you know for certain that if you were to die today you would go to heaven, or is that something you would say you’re still working on?

John 5:13

May I share with you how I came to know for certain that I have eternal life and how you can know also?

Before I share with you, let me ask you another question

#2 - Suppose you were to die today and stand before God and He were to say to you, “Why should I let you into My heaven?” What mould you say?

Repeat and confirm answer

Transition: When you answered that first question thought I had some really good news for you. But after hearing your answer to this second question, I know that I have the greatest news you have ever heard.

GOSPEL

GRACE

Heaven is a free gift

Romans 6:23

It is not earned or deserved

Ephesians 2:8-9

Friend’s Gift

Transition: This can be seen more clearly when we understand what the Bible says about man.

MAN

Man is a sinner

Romans 3:23

Sin Defined

Three Sins a Day

Cannot save himself

Matthew 5:48

Omelet with Bad Egg

Do you see why it is impossible for anyone to get into heaven by their good works?

Transition: This comes into sharper focus when we look at what the Bible says about God.

GOD

God is merciful - therefore does not want to punish us.

John4:8b

God is just - therefore must punish sin

Exodus 34:7b

Transition: God solved this problem in the Person of Jesus

CHRIST

Who He is - the infinite God-Man

Johnl:1,14

What He did - He died on the cross and rose from the deed to pay the penalty for our sins and to purchase a place in heaven for us

Record Book of Sin

Isaiah 53:6

Transition: This gift is received by faith.

FAITH

Key to Heaven

What it is not

Mere Head Knowledge

James 2:19

Mere Temporal Faith

What it is - Trusting in Jesus Christ alone for eternal life

Acts 16:31

The Chair

Beggars Hand and Gratitude

COMMITMENT

TRANSITION

Does this make sense to you?

Commitment

Would you like to receive the gift of eternal life?

Clarification

Let me clarify what this involves:

Transfer trust

Receive the resurrected and living Christ as Savior

Revelation 3:20

Receive Christ as Lord

Repent

PRAYER

If this is what you really want, I can lead us in prayer and we can tell God what you just now told me.

Pray for them - that God would give them faith and repentance

Pray with them - in short phrases of the GOSPEL OUTLINE allowing them to repeat after you

Pray for them - that the Holy Spirit will grant them assurance

I would like you to read something Jesus says about what you have just done.

This EE outline is very useful in sharing the gospel on a one-on-one basis systematically. It is designed in such a way that the key point and key verses on salvation is incorporated into a very interesting conversation. the only one thing that is very cricila to the success of evangelism is prayer. Through prayer, the Holy Spirit is able to work into the hearts of the unbeliever

Sounds like a cult to me. Eternal life is a nice fairy tale for people who are afraid of death. The only Sin is not living life the best possible way you know how and make sure you pack in all you wish to achieve before our time is gone. No amount of prayer will prepare you for death and when you are passed on your energy will only be transfered to the immediate environment you died in where it can utilised again. No hell, no heaven. These only exist on earth and they are man made.

Actually, Eternal Life is for people who are no longer afraid of death. They have looked at the world around them and recognized it is too big and complex for it to be an accident. The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that a system left to itself will fall apart (not become more complex by itself). (Look at your own car--if you don't add gas, change the oil, and wash it once in a while, your car becomes a junk heap in the front yard.) Eternal Life in Jesus gives people a reason for living here on Earth and forever. It is too complex and too easy to be man made.

This is the best gospel presentation that you could ever imagine to convert a non-beliver to a beliver. Anyone who cannot fathom Jesus as God in the flesh; who walked on this Earth; plenty ofpeople saw and walked with him; came here to die for all mankind willfully; so the saying goes "Jesus got what he didn't deserve, so we could get what we don't deserve"; rose from the dead and was seen by many people, and now sits at the right hand side of GOD himself are either ignorant or just don't get it and have no sense. We will all stand before God someday. Prepare yourself, for the time draws near.

I would ask all un-believers to answer these two vey improtant questions: 1. Have you come to a time in your life where you know for CERTAIN that if you were to die today you would go to heaven?2. Suppose you were to die today and stand before God and he were to say to you, "Why should I let you into my heaven?" What would you say?? These are probably the most important questions that you have ever been asked. Think very carefully because you can't use some stupid answer to get you by!!

Hi! The EE gospel is very useful, I've been using it for years, however, where you have the two diagnostic questions, it should be 1 John 5:13. I believe you just have John 5:13. Just thought you'd like to know about the typo. Your sister in Christ! Charity
